Given the $350,000 ask, is this worth your time?

Why this ask?

  • FactListed for sale, asking $350,000(Listing record · 25 Oct 2024)
  • FactLand 37,200 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

What could make it worth less?

No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.

What should you verify next?

  1. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No hazard layer has been retrieved — confirm flood, bushfire and heritage exposure from council mapping before an offer.

Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.

Stamp duty and transfer fees: Tasmania schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.

Rental yield

Capital growth

TAS

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

No advertised rent and no suburb rent aggregate are loaded. Official bond files are not loaded. Listing rent and suburb aggregates are evidence, not this address’s rent.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Verdict

What this means for this property

Districts view

Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.

Detail

The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”

Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.

The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.

Evidence

What is known for this property

Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

Listing material

Panoramic River Views and All-Day Sun

- Sweeping river and mountain views

- Sunny elevated east-facing pasture

- Partially sealed access

Read the full description

- Power pole / easy grid connectivity

- 2 minutes to Franklin, 10 minutes to Huonville, 40 minutes to Hobart

- Solid investment opportunity

Spectacular expansive views are the defining feature of this 9.3 acre parcel of land that is situated on a sunny hillside above the historic village of Franklin. Nestled at the end of a quiet country lane, this elevated vantage point offers panoramic views of the Huon River and the Egg Islands. The land also affords views of kunanyi/Mount Wellington.

This east-facing sloping pasture offers plentiful sun and a clear slate for development (STCA). It is part of a newly developed area so the neighbouring houses are tidy, well presented and modern. The generous land size offers plenty of room to create a living space with a sense of privacy from neighbours within a short, easy walk from Franklin village and its many cafes, Wooden Boat Centre and historic Palais Theatre. The property is only two minutes from the village, 10 minutes from Huonville and a 40 minute drive to the Hobart CBD.

A power line runs across the property and the existing power pole makes connection to the grid very straight-forward and cost-effective. The land has been boundary-surveyed and pegged and the survey will be provided to prospective buyers as well as the results of a pre-purchase soil test and property search. Access is provided by a gravel reserve road at the end of Walpole Lane and a sealed right-of-way across the bottom of the property. An unimproved reserve road land allocation from the 1800s separates the block from its southern neighbour, creating a buffer zone between the two properties which has been planted with native trees. The sloping pasture would be ideal for a vineyard, grazing livestock, or left to the wallabies to be enjoyed at close proximity. Eagles often grace the skies overhead and the soil is a gardener's delight.

This parcel of land offers amazing potential to build your rural retreat within easy travelling distance to all the conveniences of the city. Blocks of this size and with such spectacular views so close to Franklin village are becoming increasingly rare.

With all-day sun and a breathtaking panorama of the river that changes throughout the day, this property is an ideal location for building your future family home, a peaceful retreat, picturesque short-stay accommodation, or as an investment for your future. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to secure a truly special parcel of land that blends rural tranquility, convenience, and views that uplift and inspire.
